"Grandpa, this is the benefactor who saved my life that I told you about, Ye Fei."
"When I went to gather herbs for you before, if he hadn't helped me, I might never have seen you again!"
Yuan Bing said coquettishly.
"Your Grandpa knows. Since he is your savior, then I naturally must treat him with respect!"
Old Master Yuan soothed.
"How is that possible!"
"I don't believe it!"
Song Cheng instinctively refused to believe that Ye Fei had become Miss Yuan's savior!
"Mr. Ye, thank you for saving my daughter!"
When the head of the Yuan family learned that Ye Fei was his daughter's savior, he was also extremely grateful and expressed his thanks.
"It was just a small matter."
"No need to mention it."
Ye Fei said indifferently.
"Ye Fei, didn't you say you prepared a gift for the Old Master?"
"If you have the ability, then show it to everyone!"
"It will also broaden everyone's horizons!"
"I don't believe your gift can be that great!"
Song Cheng directly skipped the previous topic and brought the conversation back.
"What, you insist on embarrassing yourself in front of so many people?"
"Fine, since you are so stubborn, then I won't be polite!"
Ye Fei retorted.
"Wait, Ye Fei, let's open your gift later!"
"It's getting late, let's have dinner first!"
Yuan Bing stopped him.
Of course, she didn't want to see Ye Fei and his party being pointed at and talked about in public.
This Song Cheng was indeed too aggressive.
"Don't worry, I, Ye Fei, never fight unprepared battles!"
Then he turned to the Song Cheng father and son and said coldly.
"You two better open your eyes wide and watch clearly, watch how I slap your faces!"
"If you dare to cause trouble in front of me again, I won't be so lenient with you!"
After Ye Fei finished speaking, he directly took out the red brocade box in his arms.
Then with a click, he opened it. In the middle of the pure black velvet lining, there was a jade pendant the size of a toddler's palm, completely crimson, shaped like a tiger.
"Mr. Yuan, this is the gift our He family has prepared for your eightieth birthday."
"We hope you will accept it!"
He Jingyao introduced.
"This jade pendant is carved from the rare treasure blood jade. Wearing it keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer, and it can nourish the body very well. It is most suitable for the elderly."
Rustle.
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes were cast upon this small blood jade.
"No way, could this really be the legendary blood jade?"
"If it's truly blood jade, then it's worth a fortune!"
"A grand gesture, a grand gesture!"
The people around began to whisper.
"Brother, come and take a look, come and authenticate it!"
"I see the color and the feel, it truly resembles the legendary blood jade."
Old Master Yuan was also surprised by the crimson blood jade before him, and he quickly called for the Elder Kong beside him to authenticate it.
"Let me see."
Elder Kong directly took out the magnifying glass he carried with him.
Then he began to observe it carefully.
Everyone also held their breath.
Elder Kong's brows were furrowed, and his eyes never left the blood jade for a moment.
Only the Song Cheng father and son had looks of jealousy on their faces.
Time flew by, and half an hour passed.
Finally, Elder Kong's brows relaxed, and it seemed he had reached a conclusion.
He put away the magnifying glass, a look of excitement appearing on his face, and murmured.
"It's real, it's truly the legendary blood jade!"
"I saw it once many years ago, and this piece before me is exactly the same in color and feel as the one I saw years ago, with no difference at all!"
"I never thought I would see blood jade again in my lifetime!"
As soon as the surrounding people heard the Old Man's confirmation, they all became excited.
They all cast envious and jealous glances at them.
As for the Song Cheng father and son, they clenched their fists, their faces filled with resentment.
Old Master Yuan was also extremely excited, and he immediately picked up the jade pendant, marveling at it for several minutes before carefully placing it back into the brocade box.
Then he said.
"This is the best gift I have ever received."
"Since I spoke first, then the preliminary selection spot for the Wanhe Center will go to the He family!"
Rustle.
This matter was finally settled.
The He family members also showed smiles, enjoying the congratulations from everyone.
"Young Brother Ye, please take a seat!"
Old Master Yuan gestured.
Old Master Yuan was immensely grateful to Ye Fei, who had saved his only granddaughter's life.
Ye Fei could not refuse and had to accompany the Old Master to the main table.
As for Yuan Bing, she sat beside him.
"Ye Fei, why did you come with the He family?"
Yuan Bing asked curiously.
"I have some connections with the He family and am temporarily staying with them."
Ye Fei replied.
"So that's how it is."
Yuan Bing nodded.
The Old Master Yuan noticed the two of them whispering to each other.
He could not quite figure out the young man before him for the time being.
However, Ye Fei's combat power was naturally very high, being able to kill the giant wolf.
Therefore, he did not object to his granddaughter becoming friends with Ye Fei.
As time passed, the banquet finally drew to a close.
Elder Kong was still admiring the exquisite carving craftsmanship on the blood jade.
"Masterful!"
"I wonder which master carved it!"
Elder Kong exclaimed.
Ye Fei raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and then left.
"Ye Fei, my twenty-fifth birthday is in a few days. Please be sure to attend my birthday banquet!"
Yuan Bing invited.
"If I have time, I will attend."
Ye Fei replied.
"Then I will call you to inform you!"
Yuan Bing said again.
After bidding farewell to Yuan Bing, Ye Fei returned to the He family's residence.
"Brother-in-law, you really made a splash today!"
"I really didn't expect you to be Miss Yuan's savior!"
He Haojie said excitedly.
Ye Fei then said to Old Master He.
"Old Master, I've secured this spot for you as well. What else do I need to do now?"
Old Master He once again recognized Ye Fei's influence that night.
He was even more reluctant to part with this excellent potential grandson-in-law.
"Xiao Fei, don't rush. We've only secured one preliminary spot for now, and it's still a long way from actually entering the commercial center!"
"Don't worry, once the He family is confirmed to be in the commercial center, I will return the marriage contract to you!"
Old Master He replied.
"Alright."
Ye Fei mumbled.
After several rounds of drinks, the He family decided to leave.
Just as they reached the hotel entrance, Song Cheng and his son, accompanied by the young man in the striped suit, got into their car and approached them again.
